Coloured bath resurfacing in Scottish Borders without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Scottish Borders. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Scottish Borders questions
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Scottish Borders?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What we’re called out for in Scottish Borders
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price

Repair or replace in Scottish Borders?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scottish Borders use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
